Histoire
Akhsikath is an archeological site located in the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan. A fortified city along the Syr Darya, it lies 22 km to the southwest of Namangan and covers an area of 30 hectares. The oldest parts of Akhsikath date from the 3rd century BC, but it peaked in size and importance during the 9th-12th centuries AD. Later, the city played a key role in the life of Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire, whose father ruled Fergana from Akhsikath. The city is described in the Baburnama.
